Il boss mafioso ieri ed oggi. Caratteristiche psicologiche e dati di ricerca

2014

L’articolo descrive le caratteristiche psicologiche dei boss di Cosa Nostra a partire dai dati di ricerca raccolti in quasi un ventennio (1994-2013). Attraverso l’utilizzo di frammenti di interviste a collaboranti di giustizia, mogli, figli, cognate, si analizza la figura del boss e il suo contesto relazionale. L’articolo riporta, inoltre, i risultati di una recente ricerca sulla relazione tra boss e colletti bianchi, realizzata attraverso l’analisi delle intercettazioni ambientali registrate a casa di un noto boss mafioso siciliano: Giuseppe Guttadauro. Da questa ricerca emerge la diversità psicologica su cui si fonda la relazione tra boss e colletto bianco. L’analisi dei trascritti delle …

Synergistic effects of neurons and astrocytes on the differentiation of brain capillary endothelial cells in culture

2003

Brain capillary endothelial cells form a functional barrier between blood and brain, based on the existence of tight junctions that limit paracellular permeability. Occludin is one of the major transmembrane proteins of tight junctions and its peripheral localization gives indication of tight junction formation. We previously reported that RBE4.B cells (brain capillary endothelial cells), cultured on collagen IV, synthesize occludin and correctly localize it at the cell periphery only when cocultured with neurons. In the present study, we describe a three-cell type-culture system that allowed us to analyze the combined effects of neurons and astrocytes on differentiation of brain capillary …

Photobiomodulation Therapy in the Management of Burning Mouth Syndrome: Morphological Variations in the Capillary Bed

2020

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is an idiopathic condition that manifests itself primarily with the onset of a burning sensation. The aim of this research was to perform photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) using a diode laser on the oral mucosa of BMS patients, followed by an objective evaluation of the morphological changes in the vascular bed underlying the mucosa using polarized light videocapillaroscopy. A group of 40 patients were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups (using simple randomization) as follows: 20 patients were assigned to the laser group and 20 patients were assigned to the placebo group. Each patient of the laser group received eight irradi…

A Power Sector in Transition Understanding Transition Towards a Cleaner Grid and how Distributed Energy Resources Affect the Design and Operation of …

2018

Important changes in the supply and the demand side of electricity apparatus are now underway, triggered by a combination of drivers dramatically affecting the transmission sector of power systems: greenhouse gas emissions, distributed generation, energy efficiency and the full integration of the European energy market. A variety of accelerating factors - including active consumer, aggregators, energy storage, e-vehicles, etc..- are creating a new era for the many stakeholders, incl. system operators, regional entities, industry and consumer organizations, producers or their trade bodies, Regulators, public decision makers and the society at large. Entraining this background, ENTSO-E and th…

23. Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging analysis of the brain of pathological gamblers

2018

Purpose Gambling disorder has been recently reclassified under the category “substance-related and addictive disorders”. Recent studies performed through functional MRI (fMRI) have shown that the perseverance of some behaviors can alter brain activation [1] , [2] . In this work we aim at investigating functional connectivity changes in pathological gamblers (PGs) in comparison to healthy controls (HCs) by means of resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods and materials Thirteen HCs and fourteen PGs were recruited (all right handed males; drugs free; mean age 36 ± 10 yrs). All acquisitions were performed through a 1,5 T MRI scanner using a 8-channels phased-array…

Computer vision and thermal monitoring of HMPE fibre rope condition during CBOS testing

2020

Abstract Fibre rope usage in deep sea lifting operations is gaining more prominence in recent times. With rope minimum break loads (MBL) comparable to that of their steel wire counterparts, the use of high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) ropes is seen as a viable option for use in subsea construction cranes. The ropes are worn out during use and visual inspection remains one of the main methods of determining whether a fibre rope is to be retired from use, therefore a natural extension is condition monitoring through computer vision. Creep and temperature are constraining with HMPE ropes and should be monitored continuously, particularly when the rope is cyclically bent over sheaves. Additional…

Is the Erich arch bar the best intermaxillary fixation method in maxillofacial fractures? : a systematic review

2015

Background Intermaxillary fixation is used to achieve proper occlusion during and after oral and maxillofacial fracture surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to compare Erich arch bar fixation with other intermaxillary fixation methods in terms of the operating time, safety during installation, oral health maintenance and occlusal stability. Material and Methods An electronic online search was conducted of the Scirus, PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane Library and VHL databases. A clinical trial dating from the inception of the data bases until August 2013 was selected. Studies that compared Erich arch bars with other intermaxillary fixation methods in patients older than 18 years-old were inc…

The Impact of Solar Penetration on Solar and Gas Market Value: An Application to the Italian Power Market

2014

We assess the impact of solar penetration in the Italian wholesale electricity market on the market value of solar with respect to gas sources, measured as the ratio between the relative price they respectively earn and the average daily electricity price (value factor). We find that, on average, an increase of solar generation has a negative impact on the price earned by solar producers, thus causing a marginal departure from the grid parity condition. The relation between solar production and its market value is not constant over the years, while it depends on the degree of solar penetration. It is positive for very low levels of solar production while, as production increases, its margin…

Tratamiento de la infección periamigdalina

2006

Objetivo: Analizar las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de niños afectados de infección periamigdalar. Pacientes y Métodos: Estudio longitudinal y restrospectivo de revisión de historias clínicas en los casos detectados los últimos 6 años atendidos en Urgencias. Se anotaron las variables de edad,sexo, amigdalitis de repetición, catarro previo de vías altas,administración de antibiótico y actitud terapéutica adoptada. Resultados: Fueron ingresados 29 niños cuya edad media era de 7,4 _ 1,6 años (varones 1,6:1). El 27 % cursaba con amigdalitis de repetición y el 57,8% con catarro en el momento de la consulta, de los que el 65 % llevaba tratamiento antibiótico,especialmente macrólidos…
